Couple of general Questions

Hey all, i am doing the European Contrasts tour for June 27th-July 31st and I have a couple of questions.<BR>How do we pay for our optional excursions? I see that we cannot pay with credit card then how are we to do this?<BR>Am i able to charge my ipod on the bus and if so is it a european outlet or USB?<BR>Am i able to do my laundry during the trip or do i just wash everything int he sink as i see some do?(its just not the same lol)<BR>Do they charge your excursions all in one or seperatley?<BR>I was told i am not allowed to bring a duffle bag...is this true?<BR>I see for dressy clothes are black skate shoes fine to wear or do i need to bring my fancy ones?<BR>For bringing money do you think it will be fine to put all the money i'm bringing on my mastercard then just go to atm's and take a couple days worth out? i know its a safety thing but this card wont ever lose my sight and i just dont wanna bring debit mastercard visa and all the others things i'm comfortable bringing my card and taking out a couple hundred euros to last me a few days before i can get to another one.<BR>Finally!, along the way what do we do with the souvenirs we have bought? just keep them in our day packs until access to luggage then put it in luggage?<BR><BR>Thanks so much<BR><BR>Justin
